Pressure-test the proposal against your business plan.

Build a named 12-month annualized shipment profile, then rate that same plan under the current agreement and the carrier proposal. Change the volume assumption and see whether the proposal still creates value against the agreement in force.

Test every volume plan against the current agreement.

Start from the representative shipment record, create a named annualized profile, and run it under both the current agreement and the carrier proposal. Each pressure test returns its own net value.

  • Start from a representative dataset built from available invoice truth.
  • Create a named user-defined profile instead of editing the system profile in place.
  • Keep current-agreement cost, proposal cost, and net value together for every plan.

Hold the shipment basis still. Change the agreement.

ParcelAdvisor rates the same selected annualized profile under the current agreement and the carrier proposal. That keeps a volume-mix change from being mistaken for a contract improvement.

  • Use the current agreement as the Base and the carrier offer as the Proposal.
  • Rate both scenarios against the same named annualized profile.
  • Review annual cost, difference, and rating coverage before relying on the result.

See which package cohorts changed the answer.

Move from the annual result into representative packages to see how service, zone, weight, and volume shaped the comparison.

  • Compare Base and Proposal cost for each representative package cohort.
  • Use annualized volume to see which per-package changes matter most.
  • Keep rated and unavailable results distinct in the supporting analysis.
